I'll attach the patch I've built with, though it's messy.

I hadn't realized atlas was doing that now -- I use openblas when possible.
Actually atlas has x86_64 sse2/sse3 versions.  I'll look at doing something
similar
with ELPA unless there's a good reason not to.

Yes, I'd ruled it out long ago, even though it seems to be just what's needed
on a typical heterogeneous HPC system.  Linux fails to do several things right
that would really help HPC...
